Chapter 167 – The Eastern Expedition 4 ~ The Apex of Martial Arts~
Gakinn!
The sound of iron colliding against each other echoed on the battlefield .
The sound came from the center of the battlefield .
There are two men showing their powers .
[It’s you . It’s definitely you! This overwhelming power!]
Zackard was excited . There is a man who can take his best blow .
[Isn’t it late? I’m tired of waiting . ]
Darius, who responded in a rough tone, also smiled at his expression .
When each other took a good distance, they both looked at each other with a smirk .
Zackard saw the man in front of him .
A big man who is about the same height as himself .
His bare muscles were bulging and his appearance was also elegant . He’d never seen anything special about them, but it’s definitely the real deal .
The horse that he rode seems to be a demon beast . The black glossy hair and the ferocious eyes that shone red suggested that it is not an ordinary horse .
Darius, on the other hand, also saw Zackard .
About the same height . The developed muscles of his whole body and looked like a muscular dharuma . A golden armor helmet that covered the body . The halberd in his hand was full of black and terrifying magical power, and it was clear that he was a magic spear user . And that riding thing… it’s not a horse or a cow, it’s obviously a demon beast . A cow-shaped demon beast covered with blue hair… The two horns that shine black are like sharp blades .
The thing that made them stop looking against each other…is because of Darius’ beloved horse Death Scythe was neighing . Death Scythe got enthusiastic at seeing his opponent .
As if to call it a signal, the two charged with tremendous force .
[Oooohhh!]
[Kaaaaaaaaa!]
Every time the two people’s strengths collide with each other, an invisible shock wave scattered throughout the battlefield .
5, 10 and even 20 times … The total number of weapon clashes has increased, but both men do not give up .
[Gumo!]
[Hooh!]
Darius’s beloved horse Deathscythe and the cow monster that Zackard straddled, did not move as if to boost his master . However, they hit their opponents with that sharp line of sight .
When the number of clashes combined was about to exceed 50… those two took another distance again .
There are no words . But… They have understood two things by exchanging spears now .
One .
Their way of fighting is similar .
And two .
If you don’t take it seriously, you can’t beat the man in front of you .
[It’s fun! It’s really fun!]
He shouted with a vicious laugh which made Zackard excited
[Kaaaaaaa!]
Along with that voice, Zackard raised the halberd overhead . The black miasma from the halberd overflowed and covered Zackard’s body .
Miasma began to drift from Zackard’s body and the color of his eyes began to glow red .
[It’s the first physical strengthening method…]
Darius muttered and glared at Zackard .
His physical strengthening method is like a demon’s .
Some people use magic, but in some cases like Darius and his master Ares, they use fighting spirit to break through their limits, but using miasma is…
Darius took a small breath and…
[Hmph!]
He took a deep breath . Along with that, the golden fighting spirit covers Darius .
[Now, let’s go for a second round!!]
In this way, Darius and Zackard would clash spears again .
Kin!
Gakinn!
The sound of their spears echoing on the battlefield . And every time their spears clash, an extraordinary amount of wind pressure is dug into the ground .
Darius didn’t care so much and drew out a heavenly painting with the wind pressure .
However, as well as Zackard, he exchanged while twisting his body while identifying his enemy’s weak point… The next moment, he laid down his halberd .
Darius also stopped and accepted the attack as if he knew the blow .
The offensive and defensive movements continued…
The people around them can only watch over it .
[…what should I do…?]
A young soldier muttered, watching over the battle .
[What can I do to be strong like that?]
An unnamed young soldier muttered on the battlefield . The veteran soldier next to him replied with such words that everyone would normally ignore .
[Are you sure you want to throw it away?]
[Ha? What is it?]
[Abandoning your humanity . By abandoning your humanity, I’m sure you’ll end up with that kind of martial arts . ]
The martial arts that are unfolding in front of you . It’s not a human skill .
The young soldier was staring at the figure as if he was biting into the words of a veteran soldier .
Zackard began to feel a little impatient .
Ever since he was born, he didn’t know anyone who could fight him this much .
Most of them couldn’t take one of his blows and have died until now .
Yes, including his father .
But, what about the man in front of him?
He took his blow firmly and, on the contrary, launched a counterattack . And that blow is also so heavy that he had never experienced it… . .
(The world is wide… as there is a man like this . )
Darius, on the other hand, was also waving his spear with surprise .
(I was surprised . Isn’t it the same martial art as the Lord, Sigurd, and Shu?)
However, it is definitely different from Zackard . He knows a warrior equal to himself and is experiencing a deadly battle .
There are people around him who, like him, have reached the culmination of martial arts .
Sigurd, Shu, and his master, Ares .
By acknowledging their existence, he was able to swing their spears more calmly than Zackard .
However, such a margin is insignificant for the two of them today .
Both Darius and Zackard… smiled before the spear was put together, but now it’s gone .
It’s easy to see that they are fighting within the limits .
How long has it been since it started?
The two pulled their spears again and took their distance .
It was then that something incredulous happened .
From the direction of the left flank of the Zackard army, a strange army that had never been seen on the battlefield appeared .
[Oh, Darius . You seem to be doing something that looks fun . ]
A funny voice echoed in the tense battlefield .
Yes, the man at the front spoke to him without reading the atmosphere . And Zackard is scared to stand up .
The man… was straddled on the dragon .
[Oi oi, what happened to the enemy’s left flank?]
[Isn’t it decided that we already crushed it, right?]
[Haa . As expected from the dragon unit . ]
Two men were laughing at each other . But Zackard heard the words, turned his gaze backwards… and clicked his tongue .
Yes, it was the many dragon species behind him that came into his sight .
He put it in sight and then immediately took action .
He suddenly turned his horse’s head in the opposite direction .
The chance to fight numerous dragons was a bad call . And the man who was talking to that Darius… That man is also a monster . It’s bad to fight against two monsters here right now .
Even now… he heard that the right wing was swallowed by the enemy and the left wing was crushed…
[…Oi bastard, wait!]
Without replying to Darius’ words, Zackard started running .
[I will… never forget you…]
When he glared with his red eyes, Zackard returned to his own camp .
Zackard kicked off the Margraves’ soldiers with a single horse, and returned to his main camp .
Then the entire army will be ordered to retreat immediately .
However, the decision was slow and his army was almost destroyed .
The Byzeld army, which had invaded Istrea in this way, was thus almost destroyed .
The retreat of Dormadia and Byzeld . That is something that has never been seen in the eastern countries .
Their defeat marks the beginning of a major tide in these eastern nations .
